Hi parents,

Need advice over my year 1 DS’s humanities choice (he likes both Music & Geography).
If I keep quiet, he might pick Music (year 2& 3 only becos he has a grade 4 in piano) but unlikely to specialize in ( difficult for him to meet w the requirement for 2 musical instruments). Should I even try to steer him to do Geography with a higher chance to carry on as an optional 4th major ? Please share or pm me. Thanks!

Hi for those who are weak in English and Chinese subjects, how do you/your child overcome the challenges? If gonna looking for enrichment centre, which Centre usually NUSH students goes?

Dear Bluemood,

Geography will be more real world relevant.
However taking arts based subject as 4th major in Year 4 will truly dissipate focus from Pure sciences which defeats the purpose of excellence in science and maths.

\"truly dissipate focus from Pure sciences which defeats the purpose of excellence in science and maths\".

That's a truly a pertinent point as far as the expectation of future batch of NUSH STEM graduates. With Computing and even astrophysics in the curriculum, I think more student will go into STEM-related areas and a very small minority go to non-stem related. :goodpost:

I need advice on supplementary intake exercise. My son had successfully gone through first round but failed second round. May I know what is the cut off points for last year? I learned there’s still an interview for this SIE, so even if you got a high t score you might not get in if you cannot perform during interview? My child got a co from another school but he is thinking of forgoing that co. We are in dilemma.

Understand that during briefing, the school leader mentioned to some parents that last year COP was 267 + must be A* for Maths n Science. Around 20 admitted under SIE last year.

Very competitive and to get in there are 3 selection rounds. But quite a good school academically and holistically!
